Thanks for the input David, I've posted a v3 but didn’t include this change as I wanted to discuss a bit further. So we use DPDK.org in our ci but we also make reference to its use throughout the OVS documentation when users wish to download DPDK, should this also be replaced with github? I guess to my mind if github is the preferred method to retrieve the repo then does it raise the question of dpdk org in general providing the releases? Is there a plan to transition completely to github for DPDK in the future? If the preferred method is to go ahead with github then thats OK on my side but I think it would be better to keep that change in a separate patch along with an explanation as to why github should be used rather than dpdk.org as we've been using the current approach for a few years without issue.
